I've just been warned off for a detachment to the 'stan in a few months and as well as the 2 week RN OPTAG which I understand everyone's got to do, in fact I did it a couple of years ago prior to a TELIC detachment, I have been booked on a 2-week course at Excellent which as far as I'm led to believe, is basically a weapon training course, with a lot of live firing. I understand that this course has to be completed prior to OPTAG. All of this is fine, I just wondered whether anyone on here had done it, or indeed if anyone's going to be on the course at Excellent starting the 27th July.
